This study presents detection of pulmonary disorders using different spectral analysis methods such as fast Fourier transform, autoregressive and the autoregressive moving average. Power spectral densities of the sounds were estimated through these methods. Feature vectors were constructed by extracting...

This paper aims to formally define a concept of interpretability according to natural language of a logical theory, and show advances for demonstrating that the logic system called Compensatory Fuzzy Logic is interpretable. A logical theory is interpretable according to natural language if the calculus...

This paper describes the application of an evolutionary optimization method to design satellite constellation for continuous regional coverage without intersatellite links. This configuration, called mutual coverage, is related to some technical limitations that exist on small satellite technology. The...

A general Methodology referred to as Daphne is introduced which is used to find optimum combinations of methods to preprocess and forecast for time-series datasets. The Daphne Optimization Methodology (DOM) is based on the idea of quantifying the effect of each method on the forecasting performance,...

In this paper, a modified version of nature-inspired optimization algorithm called Black Hole has been proposed. The proposed algorithm is population based and consists of genetic algorithm operators in order to improve optimization results. The proposed method enhances Black Hole algorithm performance...

In Mobile Ad hoc networks broadcasting is the one of the most important and crucial phenomenon. Broadcasting can be taken up in many ways and the simplest method of broadcasting is simple flooding which can significantly increase the overheads and can result in redundant messages which can further cause...

This paper presents a fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making (FMCDM) approach based on cloud model and prospect theory. In addition, a reference point selection method is developed according to the evaluations of the potential customer or similar consumers regarding certain items. An example of purchasing...

This paper investigated the value concept of lean management to improve the performance of an emergency department (ED). This paper aims to analyze on patient perceived value (PPV) to apply lean management principles in the ED. The DEMATEL (Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory) method has...

Based on conflict analysis and lattice order theory, this paper integrates fuzziness and non-transitivity of the preference, exclusiveness and incommensurability of the objective into conflict analysis, proposes a new fuzzy multi-objective lattice order decision method for preference ranking in conflict...

The objective of this study is to provide an effective multi criteria decision making (MCDM) approach with group decision making to evaluate different smart phone alternatives according to consumer preferences. The choice of the most appropriate phone is a very complex decision, involving several perspectives....

Currently Mutual Information has been widely used in pattern recognition and feature selection problems. It may be used as a measure of redundancy between features as well as a measure of dependency evaluating the relevance of each feature. Since marginal densities of real datasets are not usually known...

Several real-world situations can be modeled as maximal covering location problem (MCLP), which is focused on finding the best locations for a certain number of facilities that maximizes the coverage of demand nodes located within a given exact coverage distance (or travel time). In a real scenario,...

We present a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm to exploit a medium-sized fuzzy outranking relation to derive a partial order of classes of alternatives (we call it RP2-NSGA-II). To measure the performance of RP2-NSGA-II, we present an empirical study over a set of simulated multi-criteria ranking...

This paper designs a non-linear integer mathematical model for the cellular manufacturing system (CMS) with dual-resource constrained setting. The multi-functional machines and the multi-skilled workers need to be grouped and assigned to the cells. Moreover, each operation of the parts has different...

The last decade has witnessed a great interest on the application of evolutionary algorithms, such as genetic algorithm (GA), particle swarm optimization (PSO) and gene expression programming (GEP), for optimization problems. This paper presents a hybrid algorithm by combining the GEP algorithm and the...

We aim at maximizing the comfort of operators in mixed-model assembly lines. To achieve this goal, we evaluate two assembly line balancing models: the first that minimizes the maximum ergonomic risk and the second one that minimizes the average absolute deviations of ergonomic risk. Through a case study...
